It's my damn cake day and let me tell you why it's my damn cake day [no actual cake inside]

It's not incredibly hard to do when you gained the 70lbs by emotional eating and self-medicating with regular doses of craft beers. Regardless, I'm proud of that accomplishment!

adude00 · 2012-05-25T23:12:59.180837+00:00

looks like it'll be a real party in the blue_lotion house tonight, you just broke this news for me!

In all my years of recruiting and conducting background checks I have not, but I'm sure stranger things have happened.

jandv411 · 2012-05-25T20:12:53.509414+00:00

:/ that's not good at all. I'd start applying for other jobs immediately.

NinjaPenisAssassin · 2012-05-25T20:10:55.796484+00:00

Background checks only check what you put down. No one ever calls the Social Security office to get every place someone has worked for as part of a background check. He should definitely leave it off.

NinjaPenisAssassin · 2012-05-25T20:09:40.342794+00:00

Yes, exactly. You can say almost anything-you were taking extension courses, helping a family member, staring at the wall-anything is better than getting a shitty reference.

NinjaPenisAssassin · 2012-05-25T20:08:57.675678+00:00

It's not that simple if this is in the US. You are allowed to say whatever shitty thing you want to if it's true. We have no idea what went on over there.

PROCAL · 2012-05-25T20:02:47.358305+00:00

I was going to say this exact thing. I work with A LOT of international candidates/employees and run into this all the time. It's certainly not lost on him that his non-Jamaican coworkers sometimes can't understand him.

Really? I know I'm being a judgmental bitch over here, but I cannot comprehend reading that magazine past your 20s.

sonalis1092 · 2012-05-25T18:49:03.893325+00:00

Ha, I couldn't ever afford the cheap version when I read that magazine in my early 20s. It made me feel like a worthless cow.

The new password is never as good as the old one. I have been at this company two years and my passwords get less and less desirable every 90 days. I want the very first one back :(

snatefinch · 2012-05-25T18:19:46.286093+00:00

nice!!

Cars built in the Japanese plants typically have noticeably less mechanical issues-or at least that was the case 10 years ago.

PRNP · 2012-05-25T16:08:51.605236+00:00

10 years and 154,000 miles later and it's still going strong!! Honda Civic EX. I wanted blue with grey interior. Most of them had this awful tan. Also it was made in Japan and not in one of the US plants which was also very important to me (sorry US).

PRNP · 2012-05-25T15:00:52.896148+00:00

Normally I would agree, but they had a unicorn of a car I wanted so I wasn't going to cut off my nose to spite my face.

purplempire · 2012-05-25T13:31:33.958562+00:00

I rocked that look in the early 90s. 20 years later, not so much. It would be terrifying.

Imstillawoman · 2012-05-25T13:26:31.478750+00:00

It's just about all forums I participate in except for 2X. Unless there is a reason to correct someone, I just blow past it. One forum was still convinced I was a man after like three years of regular posting. The one time I can remember correcting several posters is when I was talking about having a close relationship with my neighbor's teenage daughter. I just assumed everyone would get the surrogate aunt vibe. What everyone took away is I was some creepy neighbor trying to lure her into bed :/

PRNP · 2012-05-25T13:21:37.125546+00:00

For some reason some men in the car/car related industry think women know nothing about cars except how to drive one badly. I sold cars and watched it happen everyday. I've heard salesmen ask women when they can come back with their husband! When I bought my last car I had to stop and say "stop talking to him, talk to ME". My husband had nothing to do with the purchase.

britty_loo_92 · 2012-05-25T13:12:32.493996+00:00

I'll be completely honest here-I thought the exact same thing until I was caught in an emotionally abusive relationship. I learned the hard way that it's not like one day you realize "hey, I'm being abused-I'm outta here". god love women who have been able to do that. I was not one of them.

britty_loo_92 · 2012-05-25T13:10:37.018806+00:00

I could have written this exact post. I wanted to leave so badly, but kept getting sucked back in.

britty_loo_92 · 2012-05-25T13:09:09.725077+00:00

I have heard that multiple times from my good friend.

appcherry · 2012-05-25T13:06:05.992987+00:00

Wonderful! Our weight goals are almost identical (where you started, where you want to be). These last ten pounds are infuriating me!

brightifrit · 2012-05-25T06:04:47.810377-07:00

Congrats! glad you figured out your food allergy issues. Those can be so rough, but I don't have to tell you that!

It took me longer than 30 min to run a 5k after I finished C25k. I ran 30 min a day for a while, then measured by miles until now. Now I know where about mile markers are for 3-10 miles and just run what feels good that day. I was so anal about it for the past year and it stressed me out. Note that I am not training for anything, just running because I love it.
